      @drjpt1712 No option that's as easy as it was. Now you're expected to go into History and look for that closed tab. Absolutely inconvenient.

        @maheshdm Yep, they removed the button. You can temporarily turn it back with a flag, but this is a feature that opera's management has slated for removal.
        Looks like someone in management isn't quite....erm....the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to identifying and evaluating distinctive features that set opera apart from the competition.

          Thank you @ericartman92 , appreciate your help. Opera should think before such useful and distinctive features.

            Now it is as a function for testing. And it has a flag, ok
            But you have already forgotten that it was a standard option in Opera before update 68.0.3618.46 !!!
            And all the moderators insisted on repeating over and over again, "has been moved to history"!
            And how many times do people repeat their statements?!?
            Because of this, the "cards open on another device" have also disappeared!
            And the button "history" is now placed very impractically, because far away, in the sidebar.OPERA.jpg

            It works but now as an experimental feature!!!
            opera: // flags / # search-in-open-tabs
            Just follow the link and set the parameter to Disabled, then Relaunch.
            Will return as before the update!searchinopentabs2.png

              As I wrote several times, the button works after entering the flags.
              But no one understands the reason for its removal.

                      Goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.

                      Thanks for that, it's not obvious at all that disabling the "search in open tabs" brings back the "open closed tabs" Button...

                      As if they do it on purpose to piss of their few loyal remaining users..

                        @Nakanaki07 As they mentioned above, go to the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.
                        The old Closed Tabs icon will reapear.

                          It has been replaced by "Search in tabs", which is totally useless, as it is accessible from the Sidebar.

                          Workaround
                          "Undo closed tabs button" extension

                          Will the tab menu be restored some day?

                            Hi,

                            In your last update, i don't see where it is for open a tab from an other device ? On computer, it was on the right top corner, but you replaced the button by àmagnifying glass button.

                            Thanks

                                    Hi!

                                    Did Opera remove recently closed/open tabs arrow? I used it frequently, and now it's not there. 😞

                                      @supermanu35 You can create a speed dial on the start page to example.com for example. Then, you can edit it to change its URL to opera://activity and its name to "Opera Activity" if you want.

                                        This is just silly, to add a mouse shortcut to a keyboard only feature. You really have to use keyboard to use this search feature.

                                        Doubly silly when you remove a usefull, mouse only feature to do it.

                                          Moderators, please stop repeating that the feature has been moved to menu.

                                          The one in the menu is a different feature. Just 1/3 of the removed one.
                                          Tabs menu had 3 sections:

                                          • Recently closed
                                          • Other devices
                                          • Open tabs

                                          The menu has only one: Recently closed.

                                            @smokku Like you said, in Menu > History you can find recently closed tabs, so, like you it or not, when someone asks for where to find recently closed tabs, I will point to menu > history.

                                            And when people ask for tabs opened in other devices, I will point to sidebar or tell the person to use opera://activity.
